Napakalas ng tugtog sa labas at dinig na dinig ang mga hiyaw at tawa ng mga estudyante sa labas.
Huling gabi na ng aming Discovery Trip at ito ay ilalaan sa kasiyahan at oras upang magkahalu-bilo ang lahat.
"Riri, labas na tayo. Buong araw ka na dito sa Infirmary Room!" Pilit ni Aniah habang iniyu-yugyog ang kamang pinagpapahingaan ko.
"Stop doing that para kang bata talaga!" Sabi ni Nyllet
at sinapak si Aniah.
"Ani ba Nylett! That is so unlady-like! Hindi maganda na sinasapak ang mga babae! My God! Don't ever do that to me again, lalo na in public. That's embarrassing!" she ranted habang inaayos ang buhok niyang nagulo.
"Arte! Nagulo lang ang buhok mo eh."
"It's not that! Hindi ako gaya ng mga "athletic" na ka-team mates mo na mga brusko at pwede mong hampas- hampasin!"
"Oy! You're stereotyping! Hindi porket athlete kami we can't be that..what do you call that? Yeah! "Ladylike" Nylett dramatically drew quotation marks in the air emphasizing the word "ladylike".
"That's not the point! I am telling you not to hit somebody casually with your hand like a fucking ball in your games!" Aniah responded patiently pero rinig mo ang inis at pikon sa boses niya.
"Woah! Woah! Fine I will technically apologize for hitting you like we're not close!
Pero ba't mo isinasali ang team ko dito? Hah? Ow, I know! Because that "study pers" guy is now dating my team mate! Hah! Right? Hahaha are you bitter?"
"Technically?! Really!? Nylett? Really?!"
Okay. Nagkabuhol-buhol na ang mga diwa at pinaglalaban nila este kung anumang pinaga-awayan nila.
Having fight like this is normal among us. We can't avoid it sometimes especially puro kami babae with smart mouths and pride. Hayy, but believe me, it will pass. It's nothing serious.
"Will you two SHUT UP! Are you really here for me o para mag-away?Stop fussing over small things and fix it nicely o palalabasin ko kayo."
Kaya pala something is off about these two at kanina pa nag-iiringan. I thought they're just bitching each other.
Aniah crossed her arms with annoyance while Nyllet just rolled her eyes.
"Okay fine. For the record, I didn't know that Jessie and your ex-boylet have a thing until yesterday. Jessie was not attending our practices lately. Maybe, she's anxious around me 'coz we're cousins. That's a headache for our team tapos heto ka pinagi-initan mo ko dahil dun.." Nyllet started talking calmly pero halatang may pagtatampo sa tono niya.
"Okay. Fine. Sorry kung nadamay kita. I thought you knew about it pero really, stop hitting me in the head! You know I hate it." She replied nicely this time.
"Fine."
"Fine."
Hindi ko maiwasang mapailing at mapangiti ng konti. These two...
"Right, Riri. Everyone is enjoying. Let's go out na kasi! Convince her Nyllet"
"Oo nga, tutubuan ka na ng fungi at lumot dito sa ka kahihiga mo ng matagal! Hindi ka naman nabalian sa pagkakahulog mo sa pool. You're just using this as an excuse para hindi sumali sa mga activities eh!"
"Right". Pagsang-ayon naman ni Aniah.
I raised an eyebrow to the both of them. Required bang magkampihan dahil kababati lang at kagagaling sa away? Ha. Ha. Human cuteness.
"Ang cute niyo. Alam niyo yun" sarkastika kong sagot.
"Okay ganito, mauna na kayo sa program and I will take a quick shower at susunod ako sa inyo."
Tumingin ang dalawa sa akin na parang walang tiwala sa mga sinasabi ko.
"I promise. You'll see me there." I raised my right hand and give them my oath of assurance.
"Besides Aniah, don't you have a performance? Manonood ako." I added and finally, they were convinced to go without me. Pumunta lang ata yung dalawa dito, for me, to pacify their feuds. Nagkahiyaan pang ayusin sa isa't isa. Tsk.
I went to our cabin to quickly took a shower. After that, I closed myself in the room and opened my tablet. I inserted my USB and watched the file I got a while ago. Masyadong kasing open ang Infirmary para dito.
Akala ng mga pinsan ko I was staying at the Infirmary for the whole day, but actually I went to the security team and ask for the CCTV in the pool area.
I told them a lie na nahulog ko ang phone ko dun during the drowning incident and convince them with some acting skills. Mentioning your surname was also handy sometimes.
Bukod kay Contio, wala nang nakakaalam na may tumulak sa akin. I said I slipped accidentally and Yonan Contio rescued me. That guy went silent about it and went along with it. I don't know his plans or what is going on in his mind. I can make my own source, pero whatever reasons he have, alam ko na may alam siya. I need to play this right to avoid greater loss or something.
Pero nagulat sila when they found out that the CCTV footage for that area is already deleted. Now, it's becoming suspicious and annoying.
I asked the CCTV footage copy for corridor papuntang area at baka makakuha ako ng hint at bingo! Hindi ito nabura. The culprit is not a pro.
The security team was still confused and bothered 'bout the missing footage kaya hindi na nila ko pinag-aksayahan ng panahon at hinayaang umalis ng maayos. That's being irresponsible. Bahagya akong napangiti at hindi naiwasang mapa-iling. It's favorable for me kaya, why not? Haha.
I maybe attacked Yonan promptly that night, but it's not because I am certainly accusing him. I just want to caught him off guard and read some reactions pero it was futile. That guy can be unreadable.
The clip started to play and I observe all the people who walked in and out from the pool area.
Then I saw a very familiar faces. I smirked and felt a thrill hitting my nerves.
The fuck!
What an utter disappointment! I think I should let go of it this time and watch what shall happen.
